Wow, Great Work !!!
Tested with my headless music client, Amlogic 8726-M6/MX device running XBMC Frodo on latest Linux build by croniccorey.
I love the streaming feature which will may replace my CherryMusic installation which is streaming locally to my ChromeBook and also through VPN (Google Music killer).
Few suggestions:
* Browsing a large library is really awkward, having able to filter by genre is a must have feature.
* Including artists that only appears in collections should be optional. Edit: It look like the setting from XBMC is applied.
* Take some design notes from Music Pump Remote for Android in regards to:
** Ease of browsing
** Fitting gui to small and large screen.
** Artists info window.
** Playlist that is managed by the app which makes it possible to change the output (between local to remote) and thus enables a continues listening experience (imagine moving from amplified speakers to laptop or smartphone headphones), although if the webgui is access by multiple users one might want to keep the current behaviour (so maybe have this optional via a setting).
* Future feature (when enabled in XBMC) would be transcoding audio (must due to bandwidth caps when streaming through mobile networks).
* Keyboard shortcuts (same as XBMC, like Space as Play/Pause and etc...).
* More app like experience in general like asking for confirmation for tab closing when audio is played locally), custom context menu (example Dropbox website) with actions (like Equeue, Equeue After Current, Play Now ...).
* Downloading current playlist would be great (nice feature of CherryMusic, doesn't have to be a saved playlist).
* Controling pvr radio would be very useful as I got a nice list of online radio station set as pvr radio with IPTVSimple.
